Reservoir safety: making reservoir emergency on-site flood plans

Seeking views on making reservoir emergency on-site flood plans a requirement for all reservoirs regulated under the Reservoir Act 1975.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

We want to know what you think about making all reservoirs have and maintain emergency on-site flood plans and how the requirement could work.

In particular, we’re interested in:

  • what the on-site plans should include
  • how often they should be updated and tested
  • how we can improve the guidance about preparing plans
  • if training for undertakers, engineers, local authority emergency planners and emergency services would be beneficial
